Proverbs Leader Guide: Pathways to Wisdom

By Dominick S. Hernandez

The book of Proverbs is a practical book written for people like us—parents, children, friends, and coworkers. It's a collection of biblical sayings and wisdom that will make our modern lives run a bit more smoothly. Inside you encounter the wise and the foolish, all on a journey to find the wisdom that comes from God alone.


Proverbs: Pathways to Wisdom explores the context, language, and interpretation of this wisdom literature genre. Each chapter covers the historical context and interpretations of well-known verses and prevalent themes throughout the book. From the figure of wisdom to the Woman of Valor in Proverbs 31, Hernández explores these verses and reveals literary and historical details that bring more meaning to familiar passages.



The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the four-week study including session plans, activities, and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options.

Additional components for a four-week study include a DVD featuring Dominick S. Hernández and a comprehensive Leader Guide.
